Pastor Cara

In the book of Genesis, God calls Abraham to leave his homeland and to go to the land God will show him. Then God says that God will bless Abraham so that he may bless others (Genesis 12:1-3). Over the last few weeks, I have been amazed by all the ways that God continues to bless us.

This weekend, we will celebrate our mothers and all they have done for us. We will let them sleep in, take them out to lunch, buy them flowers, and send them cards. But the way we honor them today is not the way we have always done it. In fact, the origins of this holiday show us that the Christian values of loving our neighbor and promoting peace are central to this celebration.

The Board of Trustees at Auburn First United Methodist Church is charged with the care and stewardship of the church’s buildings and grounds. In practical terms, Trustees help ensure that our facilities are safe, functional, welcoming, and ready to support worship, fellowship, education, and outreach.
